Ruler source

[tvgordon]

Hi,

I wondered if anyone knew of a source for 3 foot/ 1 meter aluminum and stainless steel rules?  They need to have metric and standard marking on the same side and be accurate.

Any help would be appreciated.

Tom.

Oddly enough I found some excellent ones at Harbor Freight (Normally famous for cheap chinese tools) but they do seem to be pretty good quality - I brought a 36" metric and imperial rule there.

Check out Woodpecker (woodpeck.com).

Lots of them on Ebay.  I'm using this one from Wholesaletools if I absolutely have to:http://www.wttool.com/product-exec/product_id/17707/nm/Heavy_Duty_Aluminum_Straightedges_Empire_

If I need to make a long measure I use a story stick/Bar Gauge.  They're more repeatable for me:
